Things I liked: It's light and easy to cock. It also looks good. This rifle is much more accurate than I expected for its price. I used several different pellets at 10 yards and had a half inch group. I also like the stock.

Things I would have changed: I changed the scope out immediately and it made a lot of difference in the accuracy. It is actually kind of hard to load because of the design, but not too bad.

What others should know: The trigger is heavy however I think it actually made me more aware of my technique and made me shoot more accurately. This is a very fun gun to shoot and very accurate. Just be ready to use a different scope.

Things I liked: Price - it's the cheapest springer I could find. Great if you want to teach someone to shoot a break barrel and don't want to risk an accident with your prized German shootin' iron.

Things I would have changed: Build a better barrel anchoring system, doubt they will do that though.

What others should know: Bought this to plink in the backyard and begin teaching my son to shoot. Problem is the barrel; it's held in place by a metal sleeve that is in turn mounted into the plastic forend. On the unit I received, the barrel was loose in the sleeve to the tune of about 1mm of play at the muzzle. The sleeve was also loose in the plastic forend, and the forend itself did not lock solidly enough to the main stock. Add up these minor variances and there goes any consistency out the window. At 10 meters, I could get 8 out of 10 to group around 2" shooting offhand, but there would always be a couple of flyers that would open up the group to about 5". Granted, it's a $50 rifle, but if you want accuracy and want to go cheap, try any of the Crosman pumps. Better yet, spend $20 more and go for the Crosman Raven (if you want a youth rifle), or spend $30 more and go for the Crosman Quest (if you want an adult rifle). Bottom line, the fit and finish and overall quality is quite poor, despite the Beeman name on this Chinese import. I'd pass on this one unless you have to have the least expensive springer on the market.

Eric--You'll have to determine that when you get yours. While some guns are known for consistently having barrel droop, we've also discovered that not all of them have the same amount of barrel droop. For some, it's barely noticeable. Each model will vary, and each gun within each model type will vary.

Things I would have changed: The trigger - could be lighter and smoother but lets be honest, this is not a $500 dollar Target gun so for what it is, it is fine. I would have liked to have seen iron sights on the rifle. Without a scope or if the scope gets broken, this rifle is useless.

What others should know: With a little practice, the trigger can be learned. Like I said not an Olympic grade gun so don't expect top of the line trigger performance. realize what you paid and PRACTICE! Gun is more accurate than the stock scope will allow you to shoot. a slight upgrade in the scope will help accuracy. Try different pellets! Brands, styles and weights will dramatically change group size. Last but not least, run at least 500 rounds through the rifle before you get real serious about your accuracy. This is the second one I have owned and both of them had a lot of residual oil in the chamber causing the rifle to diesel really bad through the first couple of hundred rounds. this makes pellet velocity erratic and the rifle will not deliver full potential accuracy until all excess oil is burned off. Once it is broken in this is a great gun for the price and will give a lot of enjoyment for years to come.

I hear this time and again. I tried the gun and found when held properly it did a fine job hitting a target. Do not hold the gun tight. Loose does the job. also some good medium weight pellets help it be accurate.

Things I liked: Perfect size for my son which is 7yrs. old. The cocking effort is light enough he can manage the gun.

Things I would have changed: Triger pull is a beast hard for a youth to hold steady while trying to break triger over. I have hard time holding on target myself the triger pull is way to stiff.

What others should know: Is a nice starter gun that is fun to plink with but keep in mind the triger is very hard to pull which effects over-all acurracy.

Things I liked: Fairly accurate, feels substantial, scope was close from the factory, easy cocking effort

Things I would have changed: Less plastic, sounds "buzzy" when fired

What others should know: Likes Gamo Match pellets, overall a good beginner-plinker rifle. Bought this for my wife and she is enjoying it very much.
